I procrastinated this summer in purchasing one, now it has come back to bite me.

I initially thought a Toro Snow Commander would meet my needs 90% of the time. However the last two snowfalls here have changed my mind and I want

something that can handle 99% of the snow dumps. This current storm is a rarity however, storms of 10-15 are common. We are Currently at 30+ inches in Marion, Ma still very

windy and snowing hard. I believe I will end up with a Ariens 926dle at some point this summer. Time to go shovel!

Yes, the Ariens 926 DLE is a very good buy for the money. I have one and like it very much.

I see we found the right house to have a forum-wide snowblower party at. Folks, start your engines!!!

Yes, Siree Richie, started at half throttle full choke, eased off throttle, then put at full RPM, now down to idle.

I have your answer. A V-8 engine should do the trick!

Hi...

An 8 horsepower 2-stage snowblower will do the job...
A smaller one will too... but most of the smaller ones have a lower intake housing height...

With the snows there... a tall intake housing height is desirable...

Whether you think you can or you can't... you're right.
